Woo hoo next chapter!

Still in Beef’s POV

~:<>:~

“Today we will be doing more of stamina based exercise.” The instructor rubs his hands together excitedly. “Follow me guys!”

I walk with Pause to the training centre. I have been here two days and I’ve already started to get used to the routine. I have warrior training with Pause, crafting with Etho and this girl called Aureylain and I have sorcery with Etho and a purple eyed boy named Nebris. Apart from the people Etho has introduced to me, I haven’t spoken to anyone else in my classes. I’m still not sure if that is a good or a bad thing.

The training centre, which is usually filled with sword and bows, is filled with logs and nets. Now I am confused.

“Oh.” Pause’s voice is barely a whisper. “I get it.”

I raise an eyebrow

“The point of this exercise is for you to gain the ability to vault over logs.” The instructor’s voice echoes around the room. “If you are trying to escape a monster and a tree blocks you path, jumping over it may be your only option. The nets are for going under.”

Pause and I make our way to a medium sized log that sits to the edge of the room. After three attempts, I vault over it with ease.

“Took you long enough” Pause teases.

I laugh. “Come on, let’s climb under some nets.”

After two hours of climbing, vaulting and jogging. I can’t feel my arms.

My next class is sorcery. I find Nebris on the way there.

“Ready for class?” He asks.

I nod

“We are making health potions today.” Nebris says excitedly.

The sorcery classroom is a small, dark room. I sit between Nebris and Etho near the back of the room.

When it’s time to make the potion, I just do whatever Nebris is doing. I guess whatever I made was a health potion because the instructor seemed happy with it.

“These potions are made with a very high standard and will be used in the hospital.” The instructor’s smile is contagious.

I never have any idea of what I am doing in sorcery.

Etho and I walk down to the dining hall for lunch.

“Nice.” Etho says, looking at the food table. “Chocolate cake!”

I load up my plate with bacon and potato, and sit down next to Pause.

I’m about halfway through my plateful when a man walks in. I don’t recognise him but everyone else stands, so it must be someone important.

“Who is that?” I ask Etho.

“Lord Baj.”

“Why is he here?”

“He runs this place. Well he is meant to. Baj doesn’t do his job very well.”

“Oh.” Is all I say

I watch Lord Baj as he goes to the table used by the teachers.

Pause leans toward me. “Hey, you know there were attempted assassinations on him last year.”

I raise my eyebrows. “Really?”

“Yep. He still has the scars on his head. That’s why he wears the funny looking hat.”

Etho snorts. “I think the people that tried need to try again. Baj gets on my nerves.”

“His moustache looks funny.” I say

We all laugh.

On the inside though, my mind wants answers.

I know that there is something wrong with Lord Baj if people want to assassinate him.

I glance in his direction to find his eyes on mine. Baj’s glare sends shivers down my spine.

There is defiantly something wrong.
